Friends Committee on National
Legislation
The
Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL)
fields the largest team of registered peace lobbyists in
Washington, DC.
Founded in 1943 by members
of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers),
FCNL staff
and volunteers work with a nationwide network of tens
of thousands of people from many different races, religions,
and cultures to advocate social and economic justice, peace,
and good government. FCNL is nonpartisan.
FCNL is
also the oldest registered ecumenical lobby in
Washington, DC. The organization's legislative
priorities and policies are set by a
General Committee made up
of some 220 Quakers from around the country. FCNL's
multi-issue advocacy
connects historic Quaker testimonies on peace, equality,
simplicity, and truth with peace and social justice issues
which the United States government is or should be
addressing.
Friends World Committee on
Consultation
The
purpose of the Friends World Committee for Consultation is
to encourage fellowship among all the branches of the
Religious Society of Friends. The Quaker community circles
the globe, spanning a rich diversity of regional cultures,
beliefs and styles of worship. FWCC programs unite Friends
around the world through Spirit-led fellowship. Our
association with the
Quaker United Nations Offices
offers a means to monitor and present Quaker contributions
to world affairs. Our consultation extends to those of other
faiths through work with the World Council of Churches.
Our Mission: Answering God's call to universal love,
FWCC brings Friends of varying traditions and cultural
experiences together in worship, communications, and
consultation, to express our common heritage and our Quaker
message to the world.
American Friends Service Committee
The
American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker
organization that includes people of various faiths who are
committed to social justice, peace and humanitarian service.
Our work is based on the principles of the Religious Society
of Friends, the belief in the worth of every person, and
faith in the power of love to overcome violence and
injustice.
